Awesome tour on Tahoe! John is an excellent tour guide that presents accurate history of Tahoe and its role in the Godfather series. Snacks and beverages were great too. Definitely take this trip if you want to learn about Tahoe’s history and enjoy a ride to the Godfather mansion and Emerald Bay. There is never a bad day on the lake!

We enjoyed John and Marco as they shared interesting tid-bits about The Godfather movies, filming and actors while cruising around the beautiful Jewel of the Sierras!

John was an incredible host! The tour was such a great way to learn more about history & be on the water. There was delicious food & beverages with a great team on board to make the experience memorable! Thank you Godfather Crime Tours for allowing me to see the lake in a new lens.

What a fantastic day on Lake Tahoe! The weather was absolutely perfect, and the entire experience was both fun and incredibly informative.
John and Stacy did an excellent job sharing the history of Tahoe how the area developed, who owned various properties over the years, and the fascinating stories behind some of the lake's most iconic locations. I learned so much that I had never heard before.
The Godfather portion of the tour was especially interesting. I had no idea how movies were made back then, how books were adapted into films, or all of the behind-the-scenes details that went into creating such an iconic movie. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the filmmaking process.
I also really enjoyed the trivia questionnaires throughout the tour. I've only watched The Godfather once, so I definitely wasn't taking home the prize, but it made the experience even more interactive and entertaining.
Overall, it was a wonderful day on the water, and I would absolutely take this tour again. Whether you're a fan of The Godfather, a history buff, or just looking for a unique way to experience Lake Tahoe, I highly recommend it!

What a wonderful time we had. We thought we knew everything about the Godfather but we learned a lot . John was so knowledgeable and the captain and crew the best.
Awesome tour .. John and his talented staff were super welcoming and knowledgeable on both the history of Tahoe and the mafia influence. FUN day on the lake!
I cannot recommend this cruise enough. This was an amazing experience, and (having taken assorted Tahoe cruises through my life) completely unique and informative....
John knew it all! He was very entertaining in presenting information about the mobsters and the role they played throughout history. The yacht ride took you to where the movie was...
Fun tour! Interesting facts about Lake Tahoe history and Godfather Movie. Great people. Love being out on the lake on a beautiful boat. Excellent experience!
We had an absolutely lovely afternoon on Lake Tahoe on the Godfather Crime Tour! We learned so many interesting secrets about the movies and the stories behind the movies.
The views are amazing, the boat is beautiful, and the crew is great they are very knowledgeable about the lake and how the Godfather all ties into beautiful Lake Tahoe.
I feel it was the highlight of my summer at Lake Tahoe. My wife and I took the tour not really knowing what to expect, and walked away smiling from excitement
John the narrator, is an exceptional historian and took us back in time. It was a very enjoyable afternoon on beautiful Lake Tahoe......
The whole experience was excellent. Having the trivia and the Godfather on the boat and all info on the Godfather and organized crime was very fascinating and interesting. I highly recommend this trip...
John and his team make this experience "AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE!"....
Great experience! John had so much insight into the making of Godfather movie, including behind the scenes incidents...
